    Pantera

    Have the Classic and P2 available. For a 63 yr old club tourney only guy which one do most of you prefer? Is the 2 stable with narrow front? I had a Sabre years ago and it was tippy.

    The 2 can be a bit tippy, and I struggle somewhat with a second guy on the front with me. Still, there were things about the classic that I just could not live with.

    I would go with the P2 with a 200 Yamaha SHO on it.

    For your situation I'd probably go with the Classic myself. Front deck is wider, I've had a 07 P2 and an 04 Sabre and their both about the same from the seat post forward. Never ridden in a new Classic myself but have seen a few and I wouldn't be mad if that's what I was fishing out of.

    can get the 819 for same price but I like Cat. I personally don't want a speed demon the older I get the more I get like my dad and his brothers. I can screw some stuff up.

    I have a 18 Classic. Plenty stable, fast, and roomy with lots of storage.

    Hello. I have a old p2. 92" beam. I find it to be plenty stable . I tend to loose my balance at time since I had vertigo. The issue I tend to have is longer rods on the frt deck can be a hassle or to many can create problems some time. But I definitely love the stability,comfort and smooth dry ride.
